THE SWIFT BOAT ExPRESS to Dictatorship

It has been discovered, that as in 2000, the media is vastly favoring the most war and oil profiteering oligarchical party, despite complaints by it otherwise during the recent Obama Trip. We can expect this, do as I say and not as I do philosophy to continue throughout the campaign. The way democracy is water-boarded these days, having a truthful discussion on most any issue is impossible.

With the press in the now permanent position to be accused of having a liberal bias whenever it covers issues that face most Americans, a reverse psychological matrix has been set up by conservative fear mongers. The hands off, or kid glove approach to criticising McCain diversion is in place. The objective is the conservative mandate; to deactivate critical thinking.

That is a cult-like set up situation, where basic open comparison becomes nearly impossible. On top of that bias, we see corporate medias love of equal competition imposed upon truth as well as deception, that way there is always an argument no matter what facts are known or become perceived in their proper contextual place.

A recent add by McCain blames Obama for not seeing injured troops in Germany, then accusing him, with out of context basketball shooting (with the troops!) as being some self centered fun seeking opportunist guy who does not care for the troops, but does care for having a good time. All created out of factual smoke and mirrors; false pretext, false context, false dichotomy, false comparison, false advertising. Yet McCain claims to proudly stand behind the message. The message is actually a question; How dumb are you Americans? Do you buy baloney as truth?

This is the forked tongue express getting stoked up for its swift boat run down convoluted tracks into the lake of the imperial who cares what you think presidency. We will need a superhero to save us if this group wins again. Any of you folks a superhero? We have a job for you. A win by the corruption machinery will literally be Americas loss, perhaps of this nations founding creed itself, now that words are so relative, that meaning is spun into opposite confusion.

What will we get when the twisted boat express crashes us ashore into the land of confusion? We will get more deception, more Orwellian doublespeak, more tax cuts for the already very wealthy, less programs for the poor in need, more blind eyes towards pollution and unfair competition, more say one thing and do another. In short; a whole lot more of the crap we have been surviving under his last 7+ years, while the nation infrastructures go down the drain as the super-rich get richer. Without taxes, magical happenings are to repair our degenerating country. I told you we need a super hero.

Winning elections any way they can, is the invented perverse “game” the right wing does not intend to lose. They will try every low punch and invented fear they can shove into the public head, and may I ad, it seems without fourth estate oversight. They will do this because they think it is “fair” in politics, to get what you can however you can. This idea that we love to compete by having war on our opponents at home, is killing the nations optimism and democracy’s very soul. Yet the corporate press will proclaim another victory! Hurray!

The right wing conservatism manifest these days is fraud and fear based, requiring the population to cower in church, at work, and in the voting both. Unfortunately for all of us, so many Americans are missing in actions as responsible citizens, that a little fear bell ringing shuffles the sheep right into line. Without an honest fourth estate, the founding fathers checks and balances have been undone. Now get ready for the authoritarianism to come.

If that is the intention of these blind leaders, only you can stand up for America now. The troops serve this country admirably, but they do not determine the nature of the heart and soul of our country. It is all citizens who do, or do not do that. It is we who become the hero’s, or the villains.

BEHIND THE BACK

We are entering an increasingly superfluous event known as the US elections.

We are not sure what votes will really be counted.

We do not know if the election is fair in any other way as well;

—Does the press really treat all political philosophies alike

—or do they favor the business interest they themselves survive on

—and are not likely to go against?

We have one political party trying to stack the deck against democracy itself;

They target voters, potential voters, and voter registrations drives of philosophies likely to not be in their camp. This is a subterfuge of democracy, which means it is paving the way to authoritarian and or totalitarian systems where a permanent elite decides what happens in society, and possibly the world.

Once elected, individuals and parties essentially have two or more years to act as they please, with the media essentially being the arbitrator of what can lead to expulsion by how they cover the issues involved. Once again, this is behind our backs manipulation of the nation.

A political party has attempted to hold ones beliefs and political proclivities against oneself, in effect, attempting to create and ideological one party state or functioning political entity.

Since all this happens with a compliant or complicit media, the public has been disarmed of the one institution freedom had to guarantee its persistence—an independent (full meaning of the word) Fourth Estate.

With all this going on behind the actual nations back, the citizenry are kept in the dark as to the actual forces molding their lives and perhaps leading democracy and the world to oblivion.

Imaginary Second Chance

That is what I like about Second Life.

If your first life is a fizzling out dud

you can pretend it is a smashing success

where all of your fantasy’s come true

by straining them down the Internet tubes.

Well done, I say.

Well done.

THE TROUBLE WITH ONENESS

Individualism has its own kind of blow-back, or collateral damage.

We have come to worship individualism in the West. Individualism promotes opportunism. Notice I did not say opportunity. However, what we see as an opportunity arises with each problem we create. These manifest through opportunism, particularly, and become a kind of incentive to invent. We humans like to solve problems, and if there is a solution, generally we want it. This is both beneficial to creativity yet problematic since the environment will be in some way manipulated. That is most always another problem waiting in the wings. The problematic nature of all this unbridled invention is; we are not wise enough to know what we are doing when altering the environments. We have begun to notice for some time that unsolved problems, and problems coming into awareness are building into a kind of loose mountain.

In a universe of interconnection and interrelationship of all things, each alteration sets into motion unknown and sometimes unknowable consequences. To put it mildly, this is reckless as it becomes large scale. Yet if one even looks at the Internet for example, it is teeming with attempts to gain popularity and hopefully some kind of market share of some product.

It is all about the now cancerous philosophy of more and bigger is better. Many are seduced by their own insecurities to “succeed” at weaving this noose around the human experiment. Yet we can assume the endemic opportunism, or this lack based philosophy, is not comprehended by those seeking fame and fortune. Even movies are made, such as the well meaning “Bucket List”, as well as books printed about the 100 or 1,000 places to go or things to do, all for ones own betterment! These pursuits and their winsome followers, are generally oblivious as to the suicidal carbon footprint being promoted, which may well represent humankind’s own comet exterminating impact of 65 million years ago. Only this time it will not be the dinosaurs going out. It will be everything you have did or known ceasing to exist in active relevance.

A most unfortunate case for this ultimate problem, is the utter resistance of the cancerous philosophy of opportunism to detach from public consciousness. As usual, the youngest among us still “feel” the oneness of the world, but school, most schools, attempt to drive that sense of connection and responsibility to connection out of their minds. Then we are literally out of our minds, our natural based minds that is, and into that individualistic fantasy world of success and or fame. You are off on your own to make your mark. Those marks are adding up into something monstrous.

It is notable, how soon in life so many young people seek to do stunts or film events to get noticed. The cry for connection is literally switched to individualistic drama seeking attention as success. There are millions wanting to be movie stars, or basketball stars, or? …, the list goes on and on. We can question how relevant to the big problem all of this wanting to be top dog in the pyramid scheme is.

The desperate drive to get to the top in some way, or at least appear to be a success in a materialist culture, marks the personal rope burns around humankind’s neck. Time will tell if this detachment from the environment and basic laws of cause and effect will leave humankind’s swinging in the gallows. One thing is sure; the delusional mindsets of more and bigger is better is contaminating all environments on earth. Until the attitudes of we humans change as to what our collective responsibilities and requirements are to continue to survive on this world. This world may all too soon mark the beginning and the end of the human experiment. No matter how nice your house is, or how much you help the poor, or plan on world tours.

There is a finite number in this deceptive equation of individuality in a mass consumption based paradigm; The individualist on earth do not realize that consumption is in a fundamental way, consuming the earth out from under our feet. That is the problem of materialist individualism in a wholistic* environment. We are building in our own obsolescence, and taking the rest to oblivion with our fantasies.

MAKING IT UP AS WE GO

Insecurity.

It drives us to do and be many things we would never admit.

We wear clothes most of the time. We are ashamed, or shamed from our very bodies. We make them forbidden, and that makes them obscene. We make the body bad, empowering the negative attachment to it. We may see photo’s of tribes that wore nothing or near nothing. We think they might have had some innocence we do not, but we go on to think of them as primitive. We are forbidden to wear our birthday suits to the office or the board meeting, with all the others perhaps wearing their monkey suits.

We come to be disembodied heads, which is strangely appropriate for a definition of humankind, modern humankind. We are equally as blind about equality. We want every right to every thing, we want this right to be fair, but we do not usually think twice about having advantage over someone else for our “advanced” lifestyles. We do not think twice about having a car, or that if 4 billion people drove our kind of car we may well all be dead.

We are disembodied dumbed down heads. Our heads and our hands are often the only things showing. They are the two things we seem to use, with the rest of our bodies being their props. Most of us will never imagine the image of us in our bathrooms on the toilet. Most of us would never imagine that of our fellows at the board meeting sit there just like us in the bathroom. Our lives are constructed around varying degrees of cognitive dissonance.

We are sequestered from our own biology, our own chemical dance. Even sex is often conceived of as a violation of some kind, which we then get or take by certain seductive behaviors. We would rather not think of it at all, at least some try not to. As puritans forbid its expression they empowered the opposite. This is the nature of conservatism, of hiding. By resisting a perceived evil, evil is made manifest in consciousness. Its resistance becomes both subjugation and persecution of the self and society.

Many of us have no idea how we empower evil for the opposite reasons. We do not understand the power of unconditional love, nor of goods ever-present superiority over bad. We do not understand the interactive dynamics of creation. If we do not communicate our resistances, our frustrations at being, we are dominated by them. Others will seek to mystify and codify these disturbances into dysfunctional oppressive platforms. These go on to assume the rolls of answer, when they are in any ways the source of the problem itself. These form hierarchies of power and so to the rights to the world of getting. It is seduction made into a system, even a system called achievement or progress. Getting ahead. A disembodied head.

But disembodied heads are about their plans and schemes unattached, they think, to the real world of unavoidable consequence of cause and effect. Many operate on faith and belief that is actually existentially contrived. Varying programs vying to be booted up into the brain. Then assumed to be intrinsic as hardware, as the truth of reality and being itself. When in fact these are differing systems of thought organization designed to make sense and assuage the insecurity endemic to our imaginary lifestyles.

Robot homosapien sapiens, go on their merry or not ways. Sure on the surface of consciousness of what they are to do next; what to pursue, what to attain, and what to try to keep to keep the insecurity away. These make sense in their own way. They produce a logical dialectic to the beliefs of cause and effect, but they are not the real, the true thing.

That my friend, is completely up to you to see. Not me to tell you.

THE GOD GAME

True; The world may be destroyed by humans over their definition of God, and just who are the true believers.

A

Does this imply God would not know falible human beings would draw such contradictory and self mutilating conclusions over God?

B

Does this mean human beings draw subjective conclusions over a generic, or universal Phenomenon or Presence, meaning they are fighting over their subjective beliefs–because they do not comprehend the generic truth?

If so to either or both questions. God holds fallible beings up to its Own standard, and so is in some fundamental way absurd. Or in the second case. God may well exist, but human beings are imagining their subjective take is the only one that is true, and human beings are absurd.

Conclusion: For religions that feel they are the one true one and so all others are false, such a conclusion is patently absurd. Anyone who thinks God can be more well defined than absolute or unconditional Love, are also absurd, and worshiping false prophets, mainly their own imaginations.

Have a great day!

As always

It is entirely up to me to see what is great, or what is my other decision about it.

Hello to the One World!

From the confusion of the subjective imagination, humankind attempts to plant a flag on the beachhead of truth and reason. Many, if not most, turn back. The lure of worshiping worldly gods of self indulgence is too enticing. The undertow of avoidance and flight from pain sweeps many out into a sea of indifference and constant self medication. This blog is dedicated to those who survive the emergence onto a new land. One where heaven is at hand. Where eternity does reside, in each and every grain of sand.

Welcome to the forbidden land.
